WTN: 2001 Le Bon Pasteur

2001 Château Le Bon Pasteur (Pomerol)

Expansive, broad, warm fruit with mellow oaky middle and soft dark flavors of espresso/coffee. Some floral notes round out the palate. Very very nice in a modern but not over the top style. This is a bit on the young side, although it is drinking well enough that it's not a crime to open now. The bit of mellow maturity hints at what it will become. Very nice. Drink now and for the next 10 years.
B+

Pretty much sums up my experiences from other vintages that I had from this producer.

I had this last fall & agree with your assessment.

Of course I though that this bottling was one that was supposed to represent all that was wrong with Bordeaux. It didn't.
